Apple iPad 9.7 (2018) Design and Build

Design and Build

The iPad 9.7 (2018) maintains the iconic design language Apple is known for, with a sturdy build that combines a glass front with an aluminum back and frame. Its dimensions—240 x 169.5 x 7.5 mm—are compact enough to be portable yet spacious enough for viewing content comfortably. It's relatively lightweight, at approximately 469 grams for the Wi-Fi model and 478 grams for the LTE version, meaning it's easy to hold for extended periods whether you're reading or watching videos. The presence of a Nano-SIM and eSIM supports cellular connectivity, providing flexibility for on-the-go users.
